smartmontools - can someone walk me through installation and use?

I discovered the very useful (and acurate) Tool SMART-UTILITY. http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php (look at the screen shots to understand, why I like this programm so much). Unfortunately after 5 times of using it costs something.
(I tried SMART Reporter and checked the same disk with SMART UTILITY, SMART Reporter said in good health and did not detect the defective sectors S.U. had found).

The only thing I know is ,that one can type words and signs in the terminal window and the Computer does something.

You may be out of luck as far as trying to compile and build something is concerned. I worked with *NIX for quite a few years and the steps they show at sourceforge make sense to me, but I can't picture trying to walk someone through.
